Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an optical pickup for reading and writing information by scanning an optical recording medium with an optical beam, and more particularly, to a reproducing and recording optical pickup compatible with discs having different thicknesses.
  • An optical recording medium for storing data is mainly of the disc-type, for example, a compact disc.
  • a disc is comprised of a plastic or glass substrate which is transparent to incident light and having a predetermined thickness, and a recording plane coated on the substrate, on which information is recorded.
  • the light is focused by an objective lens of the optical pickup to pass through the substrate of the disc, thereby being refracted.
  • the refracted light reaches the recording plane and is then reflected from the recording plane to the optical pickup.
  • the diameter of the spot is generally proportional to a numerical aperture (NA) of the objective lens and is inversely proportional to a wavelength of the light.
  • NA numerical aperture
  • the objective lens having a large NA drastically increases the spot aberration on the recording plane when the disc is not directly perpendicular to the beam.
  • the tilt allowance of the disc should be controlled more precisely.
  • the substrate is made thin so as to increase the tilt allowance of the high-density disc. Accordingly, as a high-density disc, a digital video disc having a substrate thickness of 0.6 mm has come about, in lieu of the conventional compact disc having a substrate thickness of 1.2 mm.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,281,797 by Tatsuno et al. teaches a technology of adjusting the numerical aperture (NA) of an objective lens by a plate having two apertures of different diameters, a diaphragm for use in a camera, or a liquid crystal device (LCD).
  • NA numerical aperture
  • LCD liquid crystal device
  • complex devices are necessary for driving the same mechanically.
  • the device is simply driven by electrical signals.
  • the LCD cannot attain reliability for an extended period of time.
  • two objective lenses optimized depending on the disc thickness may be alternatively used, but such a technique is not desirous as the objective lenses are required to be mechanically driven.
  • NA numerical aperture
  • an optical pickup having a light source, an objective lens for focusing the light generated from the light source onto a disc and a photodetector for detecting a signal by receiving the light reflected from the disc.
  • the optical pickup is for recording or reproducing information and comprises a transparent plate having a central portion formed with a diffraction grating pattern for diffracting a first portion of light travelling from the light source through the diffraction grating pattern to the objective lens, and a transparent portion through which a second portion of light from the light source passes, wherein a zero-order transmitted light separated by the diffraction grating pattern (the diffracted light) and the light passing through the transparent portion are focused onto the disc by the objective lens if the disc is a thin disc, and a positive first-order diffracted light separated by the diffraction grating pattern is focused onto the disc by the objective lens if the disc is a thick disc.
  • a beam splitter may be provided in the optical path between the light source and the objective lens, for splitting the light path of incident light travelling from the light source toward the objective lens in the optical path, wherein the transparent plate having the diffraction grating pattern is disposed in the optical path between the light source and the beam splitter.
  • the present invention may be constructed such that a separate diffraction grating is provided between the objective lens and the transparent plate, for diffracting the light transmitted via the transparent plate into a zero-order light and positive and negative first-order diffracted lights, wherein the photodetector includes first and second light receiving portions for receiving the reflected lights of the zero-order transmitted light being reflected from the discs having different thicknesses, respectively, and third and fourth light receiving portions for receiving the positive and negative first-order diffracted lights.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an optical structure of a reproducing and recording optical pickup compatible with discs having different thicknesses according to an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a profile showing a light path for a transparent plate shown in FIG. 1 having a diffraction grating pattern

  • FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating the optical structure of a reproducing and recording optical pickup compatible with discs having different thicknesses according to a second embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 5 is a profile showing a light path for a diffraction grating shown in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a detailed plan view of a photodetector shown in FIG. 4.

  • reference numeral 8 denotes an astigmatism lens
  • reference numeral 9 denotes a photodetector
  • reference numeral 10 denotes a controller
  • reference numeral 11 denotes an actuator for the objective lens 5.
  • the two discs 6 and 7 have different thicknesses, either of which may be placed in an optical reproducing/recording device.
  • the high-density thin disc 6 is a 0.6 mm thick digital video disc
  • the thick disc 7 is a 1.2 mm thick compact disc.
  • a laser diode for emitting a laser beam is employed as the light source 1.
  • the light emitted from the light source 1 passes through the transparent plate 2, reflected by the beam splitter 4 and focused onto either of the discs 6 and 7 by the objective lens 5.
  • the light reflected from the one of the discs 6 and 7 placed in the optical reproducing/recording device passes back through the objective lens 5 and through the beam splitter 4, and is received in the photodetector 9 via the astigmatism lens 8.
  • the photodetector 9 detects signals for reproducing the information recorded on the disc 6 (7) and signals indicative of focus and track positions of the objective lens 5 with respect to the respective disc 6 (7), to then transmit the same to the controller 10.
  • the controller 10 operates the actuator 11 to adjust the focus and compensate for tracking errors of the objective lens 5 in accordance with the transmitted signals.
  • the transparent plate 2 has a diffraction grating pattern 3 engraved in the center thereof, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the diffraction grating pattern 3 of the transparent plate 2 diffracts the incident light 12 into a zero-order transmitted light 14 and a positive first-order diffracted light 15.
  • the diffraction grating pattern 3 is manufactured as a serration-type, as shown in FIG. 2 to increase light efficiency.
  • the zero-order transmitted light 14 and the positive first-order diffracted light 15 can be separated by the serration-type diffraction grating pattern 3 such that the amount of the zero-order transmitted light 14 and the positive first-order diffracted light 15 are 40% of the original light intensity, respectively.
  • the useless negative first-order diffracted light (not shown) can be reduced to less than 5%.
  • the zero-order transmitted light 14 travels along its original direction to then be focused onto the thin disc 6 by the objective lens 5, together with the light 13 passing through the far-axis portion.
  • the positive first-order diffracted light 15 is also focused onto the thick disc 7 by the objective lens 5.
  • an aberration-corrected spot is formed on the thick disc 7.
  • the emitting angles of the zero-order transmitted light 14 and the light 13 of the far-axis portion do not change. Therefore, the very small spot formed on the thin disc 6 is formed along the optical axis of the objective lens 5.
  • the emitting angle of the positive first-order diffracted light 15 is slightly changed, the spot on the thick disc 7 is spaced slightly apart from the optical axis of the objective lens 5 (see FIG. 1).
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the photodetector 9 shown in FIG. 1.
  • the photodetector 9 includes a first light receiving portion 16 and a second light receiving portion 17.
  • the first and second light receiving portions 16 and 17 are divided into four regions A-D and E-H, respectively.
  • the first light receiving portion 16 is formed at a position coinciding with the central axis of the objective lens 5 so as to receive light reflected from the thin disc 6, and the second light receiving portion 17 is formed next to the first light receiving portion 16 so as to receive light reflected from the thick disc 7. Therefore, when using the thin or thick discs 6 or 7, the respective reproduction signals and signals indicative of each focus and track position are calculated from the first light receiving portion 16 and the second light receiving portion 17 of the photodetector 9, respectively as follows.
  • S a through S h are signals output from the divided regions A through H, respectively.
  • the focus and tracking error signals are transmitted to the controller 10 (FIG. 1), which in turn operates the actuator 11 so that the vertical and horizontal positions of the objective lens 5 are controlled according to the focus and tracking error signals.
  • FIG. 4 in which like reference numerals shown in FIG. 1 indicate like elements, illustrates the reproducing and recording optical pickup compatible with discs having different thicknesses according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is constructed to detect a track servo signal using three beams.
  • a diffraction grating 18 between the transparent plate 2 and the beam splitter 4, and a photodetector 9' further includes third and fourth light receiving portions 19 and 20, as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the diffraction grating 18 is unevenly shaped and diffracts incident light into a zero-order transmitted light 21 and positive and negative first-order diffracted lights 22 and 23. Therefore, the objective lens 5 shown in FIG.
  • each reflected light beam of the zero-order transmitted light 21 is received in either the first and second light receiving portions 16 and 17 of the photodetector 9' depending on which disc 6, 7 is placed in the optical recording/reproducing device, and each reflected light of the positive and negative first-order diffracted lights 22 and 23 is received in the third and fourth light receiving portions 19 and 20, respectively.
  • the reproduction signals and focus error signals operate in the same manner as described above, and the track error signal S7 operates as follows:
  • S i and S j are detection signals of the third and fourth light receiving portions 19 and 20, respectively.
  • the operation circuit can be commonly used in detecting tracking error signals for a track servo, thereby simplifying the circuitry and servo.
  • a transparent plate having a diffraction grating formed on a part thereof is employed, thereby providing a simplified and optically stable optical pickup, in contrast to the conventional optical pickup which drives a diaphragm.
  • the optical pickup according to the present invention has a higher light efficiency than the conventional one using a hologram lens.
  • the detection of the reproduction signals without interference from each other is possible. Also, the focus and tracking errors for the respective discs can be detected precisely, irrespective of the disc thickness, to provide for a stable operation.
